I can only think of teaching it, but I can't teach, I don't like it, and I doubt it would suceed because not many people are interested in it. I used to think that acting in ancient series would be enough, but I need a back up plan!!! any ideas?? thanks.

I think you can go to a premier Chinese university to teach European history while studying ancient China history there.It would be cool actually.You teach Chinese what you know about the western world and you learn about ancient Chinese history...Good deal,huh?

We just visited the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA. It has a Chinese house that dates from the 18th century. It was moved from its original location in Southeastern China to the museum. The exhibit not only contained the house itself with lots of original furnishings, but also lots of information on life in the house (it was occupied until 1980), the history of the family that had lived there from the 18th century until 20 years ago. There were related exhibits about Chinese art, and about daily life in a peasant community, videos of the village, etc... If you are interested in really ancient China, you are more limited in what you can do. But besides teaching, museum work and/or art history might be a way to go.
